Bell-shaped cup modelled in the shape of a flower c. 1740 - 1760

This small, bell-shaped cup, dating from the mid-18th century, is a fine example of Chinese porcelain. The cup is decorated with a delicate floral motif in shades of pink and green, with its exterior molded in the shape of a flower. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to the beauty and artistry of Chinese ceramics during the Qing dynasty. The cup's intricate design and delicate execution highlight the skill of the anonymous artist, and serves as a reminder of the cultural exchange between China and Europe during this period.
